Tho rolalive quantity of tea con
sumed by various Nations is an inter
esting subject. Excluding China and
Jnpiiu, which produce their own, and
fnruinU no fetntistie?, the Anglo-Saxon
race is far ahead of all others. The
English-fpealiing peoples (that is,
Great Britain, with her colonies, and
thq. United Btntce) account for four
fifths of the tikole world's consump
tion, and Great Britain alone takes
jne-half of the total amount. The
English drink ns ranch tea in the
Rggregato as all the other civilized
countries put together, though not so
much per head as Fome of England's
colonies. The United States comes
next, with less than half the quantity,
and then Hussis, with about ouC-third.
The only other Europeans who take
anything worth mentioning in propor
tion to the population are the Dutch,
and their tufcte for it ii no doubt due
to tho fact that they have their own
plantations in Java. The Ledger.
The Spider's Eyesight.
Ho far away can a spider see a fly ?
After several years of ingenious experi
menting Mr. and Mrs. Teckbam, the
naturalist?, have concluded that the
greatest average distance at which
spiders aro able to see objects dis
tinctly is about one foot. The same
observers think that spiders have the
senses of color and of smell but feebly
developed. San Franoisco Call. .'

PRETTY FROCK FOR A OIRIj.
A pretty frock for a girl of fonrteen
or sixteen is a skit ot dark blue and
white check, and a jacket of dark blue
serge, with s sailor collar and cuffs of
thecheck material. Another seasona

is a dark red serge, with a black
broadcloth sleeveless jacket, cut bo
lero shape, with deep points overhang
ing the belt, and made with a high
Medici collar lined with red silk, the
jacket being also lined with the same
silk. Tho Rleeves of the dress being
made in the new style, with long,
tight fitting arm and a full, very short
puff at tho top. The waist is made
blouse fashion, belted at tho waist by
a black satin ribbon, with a Japanese

AcnrRN HArn now the thing.
No man with half an eye can have
failed to remark two facts as he take)
bis walks abroad the increase in tho
number of women with auburn or Ti-bian-hued
hair, and the decrease in the
company. of those who wear golden
locks. The craze for perojide of .hy
drogen is more than on the wane, but
the demand for henna is so great that
while none, or next to none, was im
ported a couple of years ago, thousand
of dollars' worth is now brought into
the country. Already the color has
traveled across the Atlantic.
So generally have the chorus girls
and soubrettes gone in for red hair
that one of the theatrical managers
has told a reporter that nearly every
woman has applied to him for an en
gagement has hair of the "sunset tint."
He believes, indeeefctbat "if . ew
color isn't forthcoming there J9qt,be
golden-haired woman in the profes
sion in a year's time." .
BOGUS DIAMONDS.
Some enrious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London. As a working
goldsmith I have seen a good deal of the
trade in imitation Btones. People of
U ranks bay them. A nobleman is in
immediate want of cash and must find
it somewhere. Hs will perhaps turn to
bis family diamonds. Possibly $50,000
could be raised upon them. He aks
the jewelry off to the false diajusnd
provider, has the real stones removed
and the false ones put in, and deposits
the aotnal gems with some oiro as a se
curity for a loan. No one is a bit the
wiser. His wife appears in her jewels
just the same as usual. If she didn't
her husband would be made bankrupt
by his creditors the next week. A
largo amount of business is done in
this way, and yon may depend upon
it that the false diamond merchant has
many a chuckle when he reads in his
paper about Lady So-and-So's "mag
nificent diamond bracelets" and the
Countess Bareacre's "superb tiara."

THE PARISIAN TAKING TO SKIRTS.
Bloomers are not the smart thing
any more. Since the smart houses re
fuse to make this nrbeooming gar
ment, the better class of French
ladies has taking to wearing skirts;
atjjjjt apologies, for skirts, sucl ae
we sco attached to a bathing suit and
barely reaching to the knee, says a
Paris letter in the New York Journal.
The middle class women still ohng to
the masculine attire, however. As to
the difference in the wheels them
selves, the tin. or metal "rims instead
of our wooden ones, are the most
notable feature. A police regulation
demands a name plate, with the
owner's name and address on every
wheel, so that stolen or lost property
may be identified or returned. In
many cases the belln, which are also a
necessity, are replaced by large-sized
rattles which swing from the handle
bars and jingle along the streets until
one feels as though the seasons were
reversed and the sonud was that of
diminutive sleighs spinning past. At
night there is a picturesque change
from our regulations. Instead ot oil
lamps, gay-colored Chinese lanterns
hang on the handle-bars and sway
with every motion of the wheel. They
do not oast as good a light on the road
lor toe uenent 01 tue rider as do our
favorite lamps, but they are certainly
immensely effective for the looker-on,
nd suggest at once the idea of
"feft of lanterns'.' on wheels. The
more practical, part of the French
bicycling is seen in the militia. Uen
tlurmes ruling by in tueir red uni
forms is a common occurrence, wLilo
the si'ht cf an officer, booted and
gpurreti, witli shoulder-cape and
sword, receiving and returning the
salutes of his regiment, all on wheels,
is something quite unique.

and then cling to it, for fashion, so
arbitrary iu other directions, allow
great latitude in this.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
KART WAT TO RMOB HOT RREAn.
Brown bread time has come, and
the housekeeper thinks of it as a
season of trial, for siloing warm brown
bread is not exactly play. The Now

CARE OF COFFER AND TEA TOTS.
A terrible mistake of housekeepers
is to leave the coffoo pot and tea pot
on the back of the stove to steep all
day. It is a fruitful -source of dys
pepsia and indigestion. Novor set tea
aside unless in a glass jar or pitcher
for loed tea. Heated over, it is simply
vile. Coffee, if yon must economize
that way, should be ponred off into a
bowl or pitcher and covered olosely.
Over the gronnds ponr a onpful of
boiling water, shake nnd lot simmer
three minutes, then pour into the
bowl, and throw the grounds away
and wash and dry the coffee pot. This
will insure yon sweet coffee. To make
tho coffee, grind fine the necessary
amount, pour the liquid saved care
fully into the pot, so as to Vot stir

flesh from the bone until you reach
the legs and wiugs, unjoint these from

AN IIII'.OS r.OUB IDEA.
Bavs the Kelentlllo American: "For somo
year past 5 iiolded inclination has been ap
parent all over the country to give up the
use of whisky nnd other strong alcohols, us
ing as a substitute, beer nnd other com-
fiounds. This Is evidently founded oil the
dea that beer is not harmful and contains a

ters may have some ifiedicai quality which

These theories are without confirmation iu
the observations of physicians aud chemists.
The use of beer Is found to produce a srffjoies
ot degeneration ot all the organism, pro
found and deceptive. Fatty deposits, dimin
ished circulation, conditions ot congestion,
perversion ot functional nativities, local In
flammation of both tho liver and the kid

WHAT MAKES CRIMINAL!!.
Statistics show that fifty to seventy-five
per cent, of all the crime oommlttod In the
United Slates la done by persons while under
the Influence of alcohol. The reason for this
Is plain. The person committing the crime
is nnrcnthetir.ed, hi brain is paralyzed, he
cannot think or act rightly. The1 mono
maniac, the dipsomaniac the Idiot, the epi
leptic, I ho Inebriate and the feeble minded
are increasing at a greater ratio than the nor
mal increase ot the population, and It Is this
class ot defectives which largoly oompose
the criminal class.

1370,000,000; for staple articles ot food
(meat, flour, sugar, molasses and potatoes),
1,560,000,000; for liquors, 1,080,000,000.
That Is, 420,000,000 more were spent for
liquors than wero spent for the support of
